Chapter 18 The Actions of the Parties

As the sun gradually sets, some people in Shen County are in a bad mood because the Chu army who went out of the city to hunt down the Baiyue fugitive slaves had not returned yet.

At the beginning, these people were calm.

After all, they were just a bunch of Baiyue escaped slaves. Although they could take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Chu army guarding them and counter-invasion, they were definitely not hundreds of well-equipped and trained Chu cavalry opponents. The pursuit of Chu army did not come back. Maybe they were having fun and would come back sooner or later.

But as time goes by, these Chu troops have not returned yet, and these people are in a bad mood. They will start to guess whether something happened to the Chu army they are chasing? Did they encounter an ambush from Baiyue people in the mountains? Or did the Korean army secretly cross the border?

The Korean army stationed on the Korean-Chu border is the unit called "Blood-Clothed Marquis"!

The Chu army stationed in Shen County has lost hundreds of cavalry and it is not a big deal to lose hundreds of cavalry. The key to the problem lies in the reasons for the losses of these hundreds of cavalry.

This has to be observed and guarded.

Furthermore, this is the junction of Han and Chu, and it is very important. If such a thing happens, you have to be careful. Shen County quickly sent someone to investigate.

The main purpose is to explore the South Korean side to see if the troops on the South Korean border have been mobilized recently, because South Korea is a country with a built-in army that poses the greatest threat.

The second is the Baiyue people hidden in the mountains and forests. It is possible that the Baiyue senior officials who are determined to restore the country want to make some big moves. This possibility is still very high. The Baiyue slave rebellion was incited by them.

As for other factors, Shen County did not consider it, but did not consider it too much.

This is very normal. In this area, the biggest forces are South Korea and Chu. To be honest, except for the troops stationed on the border in South Korea that can attract the attention of the Chu people in Shen County, everyone else is not so worthy of attention. The Baiyue people who died were just a group of little mice fleeing to the mountains, which is not enough to make them pay too much attention.

Before the investigation results were obtained, Shen County began martial law. The city gates were closed and the city walls were guarding several times more than usual. Teams of Chu army patrolled the streets, and spies in the army scattered around Shen County so that when an enemy attacked, they could discover them as soon as possible and notify them as soon as possible. The Chu generals stationed in Shen County, with the highest position, gathered in the camp to wait for wars that could occur at any time.

Not only the spies in the Chu army were acting, but also the martial artsmen of the Chu State were acting.

The reaction of Shen County was naturally seen by Liang Aiguo and others in the valley camp. They understood that this was the consequence of their elimination of hundreds of cavalry and Chu troops, which further strengthened the alertness of the valley camp. At the same time, they ordered the reconnaissance team members to closely monitor Shen County for 24 hours.

Shen County is one side of the Chu army, and the other side is also an important participant in this incident. Even they created this incident.

These people are the ones who incite the Baiyue slaves to rebel!

They were also Baiyue people, but their status was much nobler than that of Baiyue people who were captured by the Chu army and treated as slaves. They were Baiyue nobles, or the ruling class.

Of course, they are not the great nobles among the Baiyue people, they are all lackeys who are small nobles or shorts who do business for the senior executives of Baiyue.

Their purpose of inciting the Baiyue slave rebellion was naturally not to really free the Baiyue slaves from the Chu people, but to cause trouble for the Chu army.

If the Baiyue slaves' rebellion succeeded, of course it would be good. They could also take the opportunity to publicize it to other Baiyue civilians: Look, it was our wise and powerful command that saved our compatriots. So you civilians listened to us and obedied us, which is definitely right!

If they cannot succeed, they will not suffer any losses. If they fail, they will fail. It is just a death of hundreds of untouchables.

These people didn't care much about the life and death of the Baiyue civilians.

Therefore, when they were chased by the Chu army and fled, they ran the fastest, and all the horses they stolen from the Chu army were ridden by them.

Except for a few unlucky guys, the Baiyue people who planned this rebellion successfully escaped alive.

After they successfully escaped, they slowly found that something was wrong. What about those Baiyue Dalits? What about the Chu army chasing them?

These people gathered up some Baiyue slaves who also escaped. After inquiring and sending people to check, they finally came to a conclusion: there was a mysterious force in the mountains and forests. They destroyed the Chu army and took away the Baiyue slaves who were hunted.

Where does this mysterious force come from? Who are they? What are they going to do? Will it pose a threat to us?

These problems naturally arise in their minds.

But they did not immediately send people to investigate this mysterious force. This mysterious force could destroy hundreds of cavalry and Chu troops, so it would not be difficult to kill them. Instead, they hurried back to their nests and reported to the Baiyue senior management above, and asked them to make a decision.

The actions of the Chu people in Shen County and the movements of the Baiyue people hiding in the mountains and forests were also expected by the valley camp, and there was no good way to stop them. They could only strengthen the vigilance of the camp and support them until the end of the March period.

When the valley camp was in a tense atmosphere of preparation for war, the Daxia side, Shen Yang, Qin Su, Xu Minhua and others had already reported what happened in the Qin Dynasty world.

It was related to the safety of the valley camp, and the above reply was quick, agreeing to transport a batch of weapons and supplies. As for the handling of Baiyue slaves, it was similar to the reply from Shen Yang and others to the valley camp, giving Baiyue people food, clothing and housing, and not arousing the hostility of Baiyue people.

Actually, this is for the later consideration.

For the indigenous people of the Qin Dynasty world, Shen Yang, Liang Aiguo and others were visiting another world. There were three ways to gain a foothold in the Qin Dynasty world: the first was to brutal colonization and suppress all dissatisfaction with tough force; the second was to choose to cooperate with local rulers; the third was to assimilate the indigenous people and turn them into their own people.

The first type is brutal colonization. First, you must be sure that you have this force. However, in such a world where immortals and gods have existed, magical martial arts and other existences, the force of Daxia may not be absolutely effective.

In fact, the most important thing is that Shen Yang restricted the time when the time and space gate was opened, making it impossible for Daxia to send a large number of troops and transport a large number of weapons in a short period of time.

Moreover, mobilizing too many troops may also attract the attention of other countries.

The second type is feasible for cooperation with local rulers in a short period of time, but over time, who knows what the local rulers will choose to do?

The third type is that the cost of investment is very high, but if successful, the gains will be very huge.

The inclusion (actually forcibly taking in) these Baiyue slaves were to explore the way first, which would affect the plan of Daxia to face the Qin world later.
